1. This is the first ever international show-jumping event ever to come to Liverpool.

The world’s most glamorous shows include the Gucci Los Angeles, Paris and Hong Kong Masters, The London International Horse Show at Olympia and the Longines Global Champions Tour Final which took place in Doha recently. The ‘sister’ international showjumping event to Liverpool is also held in the North West - the super-stylish Bolesworth CSI**** held in the grounds of Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire, which is run by Nina Barbour and her dream team.
